It included an afterword was later written by Amy, under the name of Amelia Williams. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan [+]Loading...["The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)"])

However due to River entering the story to retrieve a reality-altering weapon, the Eye of Horus, hidden there by Ventrion, The Ruby's Curse was rewritten to be an accurate account of River's adventure. As this would expose her parents as time travellers, River and Amy agreed the book wouldn't be published until the early 2020s. (PROSE: The Ruby's Curse [+]Loading...["The Ruby's Curse (novel)"])
After the incident with the Eye of Horus, Amy decided to accelerate her plans of taking over the book series, as River was now too close to Melody to really write her. (PROSE: The Ruby's Curse [+]Loading...["The Ruby's Curse (novel)"]) Indeed, by 1946, Amy had written further books for the series.
